Viewing Notes

For my childhood movies project. Haven’t seen this since I saw it in theater in 1986. Surprised by how much I had forgotten. Not a great movie but not nearly as bad as most make it out to be. Sure it’s goofy but still has fun moments. However, one I’m sure I enjoyed more as a teen than I do now. Seems more like a novelty film watching it today.
